The post template is the most commonly used gadget (found in virtually every blog) - but it's not the only gadget.
Sometimes the code in one gadget may cause a problem with the other gadgets - even with the comments / posts, or the post template.

If resetting the post template doesn't solve the problem, we generally have "widget template corruption". The solution for widget template corruption is to reset the widget templates.

I had problems with the share buttons gadget no showing up in post footer. I followed you instructions to Resetting The Widget Templates. I did backup my template first. After my reset I went to Design and clicked on post edit and add the share buttons. It worked but my followers gadget is not working. So I followed your instructions "reload the template from the backup just taken". The followers gadget is there but it blank. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much, Chuck! You're a genius. Resetting the post template didn't work for me but this second method worked like a charm. The only snag was all the previous customization done at the post footer have to be re-installed. Nonetheless, I'm terribly happy with the result. Thanks again and God bless you!

I am still unable to make any chnages to my sidebars. I can't add widgets, change them, or update them :s On my boyfriends macbook, everything works. So it's probably something on my computer that is the problem... any idea what it could be? ... x
